The Creative Confessional

By Jami Milne

At the 2019 Summit, attendees had the opportunity to enter The Creative Confessional, where visual artist Jami Milne captured their story by building connections through conversation and photography. Attendees confessed the creative endeavor they never followed through with or the idea that never came to fruition. The Creative Confessional allowed attendees to speak it into existence… or finally set it free.
